Renaissance was wayyyyy before this. The church got its grip on Europe again after (meaning it failed) and the Enlightment freed it just enough to allow scientific (and public) innovation. The enlightenment era was a big part of shaping our modern world, America wouldnt have even existed if it wasnt for the ideas presented by French minds at the time.

It's nigh unpronouncable without at least a couple French lessons under your belt.

"Bal" is easy, you just tongue (palatalize) the L more strongly than in English and pronounce the "a" slightly long.

"main" is more difficult, the closest analog most Americans would have heard would be when Mexicans say "what up mang", but drop the g. The vowel sound is somewhere between the "a" in "hang" and the "e" in "penguin".

in french the last few letters are commonly more subtle, virtually absent if youve never heard the language before. look for example at the pronunciation for "mains," which is the french word for "hands"

http://www.forvo.com/word/mains/#fr

also its very nasal. this depends regionally of course, but french is spoken through the nose much more than english

ITT; people who know nothing about about French military history

France surrendered because they had a weak army, Germany was already poised and ready to penetrate their asshole, and their civilians would have been massacred by the millions if they hadn't. The only reason America laughs about them is because they don't understand the value of common sense in wartime.

I'm from Texas, and I hear this all the time and it pisses me off so much.

It's more the fact that their ignorance in guarding their borders led to the ultimate surrender. Had they used common sense in wartime, France would have been in a better strategic position.

Dont get me wrong, the French weren't too bright when it came to military preparedness. Despite the "The Great Treaty of Fuck Poland" they should have seen Germany coming a mile away. That being said, them surrendering saved millions of lifes, and made the Reich overextend into England, where they practically carjacked their buttcheeks open post-1943.
